Use the WaveStar^® CIT to log in to one of the terminating nodes.

Procedure 14-2: Connect Personal Computer (PC) and establish WaveStar^® CIT session

On the System View menu, select Administration → OSI Neighbor Map command and note the NEs connected to Main 1 and Main 2.

Access each of the NEs identified and select the Administration → OSI Neighbor Map command and note the NEs connected to Main 1 and Main 2.

Repeat the above until the backbone ring can be sketched.

For BLSR rings, you can select View → Rings → Ring Map from the System View menu, then select the 2F BLSR port protection group and click Select. Select NVMRING in the Ring Map Source selection box. You may also Display Ring Map Graph using this command.

Important!

If a drawing of the network is not provided with the work instructions, it is recommended that you draw a simple diagram of the ring (indicating node-to-node connections) and list each node's TID.

Result:

The OSI Neighbor Map window opens if the Administration → OSI Neighbor Map command was used.

A list of NEs and NE neighbors is displayed if the View → Rings → Ring Map command was used.

Verify that the system configuration is the same as specified on your work instructions.

From your work instructions, determine the cross-connections to be made at each node associated with the service to be established.

The following figures illustrate the cross-connection rate, type, and STSn AID addresses when using the WaveStar^® CIT Cross-Connection Wizard in the following steps.

• Figure 11-31, UPSR Ring Add/Drop cross-connections illustrates a path protected OC-48 ring network with UPSR Ring Add/Drop STS1 cross-connections for Ethernet service.

• Figure 11-32, Multipoint mixed GbE and FE cross-connections on a UPSR and Figure 11-33, Multipoint GbE cross-connections on a UPSR illustrate OC-48 ring networks with Multipoint (1way unswitched) STS1 cross-connections for Ethernet service.

• Figure 11-34, SONET protected 2F BLSR Add/Drop cross-connections on a BLSR without NUT illustrates a BLSR protected OC-48 ring network with 2F BLSR Add/Drop (1way) STS1 cross-connections for Ethernet service.

• Figure 11-35, Multipoint (1way unswitched) cross-connections on a BLSR with NUT illustrates a BLSR protected OC-48 ring network with Multipoint (1way unswitched) STS1 cross-connections using NUT for Ethernet service.

• Figure 11-36, Point-to-Point 10/100-PL private line service, STS1 cross-connect mode, One STS1 illustrates a Point-to-Point 10/100-PL Private Line Service, using STS1 Cross-Connect Mode with one STS1.

• Figure 11-37, Multipoint 10/100-PL private line service, STS1 cross-connect mode, External Customer Protected illustrates a 10/100-PL Private Line Service, using STS1 Cross-Connect Mode, Multipoint (1way unswitched) STS1 cross-connections, and protected by external customer equipment.

• Figure 11-38, Two point-to-point 10/100-T/F private line services, STS3c and VT1.5 illustrates two Point-to-Point 10/100-T/F Private Line Services using STS3c and VT1.5 cross-connections.

Starting at one of the nodes in the ring for the circuit being established, select View → Cross-Connections at each node in the ring to verify that the cross-connections specified on the work instructions may be made.

If cross-connections are already assigned or improperly assigned, refer trouble to the provisioning organization. Improperly assigned cross-connections may have to be deleted, or a different timeslot must be selected for the service being selected.

One at a time, at each non terminating node, select Configuration → Cross-Connections from the System View menu to start the Cross-Connection Wizard. Use the Cross-Connection Wizard at all non terminating nodes in the network to provision the 2-Way Point-to-Point, Through STSn pass-through cross-connections for the Ethernet service being provided.

Reference:

Cross-Connections for Ethernet

One at a time, at each terminating node, select Configuration → Cross-Connections from the System View menu to start the Cross-Connection Wizard. Use the Cross-Connection Wizard at all terminating nodes in the network to provision the STSn add/drop cross-connections.

Important!

When multiple VCG tributaries are used to provide an Ethernet service, the VCG tributaries must be connected in the same order at both ends. See Reference.

Reference:

Cross-Connections for Ethernet

From the System View menu, select View → Cross-Connections at each node to verify that the proper connections have been made.

Important!

For LNW63/64/70/170/73/74/78/87 circuit packs, each tributary cross-connected to a VCG must be Enabled before it becomes an active member of the VCG. Select View → Data → Ethernet/Data/VCG Port to verify that VCG Membership has been Enabled in the Input or Ouput Direction, as required.

Use the TL1 ed-vcgtrib command to enable tributaries, or from the System View menu at each node, select Configuration → Equipment. Expand the details for the circuit pack and VCGs being used. Highlight the tributary (Trib) being enabled then click Select.

Select Enabled for the VCG Membership in both the Input and Output Direction. Click Apply, read the warning message, then click Yes to execute the command. Repeat this step for each tributary being enabled. Click Close to exit.

When Input VCG Membership (source) (inmbs) is enabled, the VCG tributary is a member of the VCG in the source direction (towards the SONET network). When Output VCG Membership (sink) (outmbs) is enabled, the VCG tributary is a member of the VCG in the sink direction (away from the SONET network).

Procedure 11-33: Provision LCAS, add/enable/remove tributaries

After all cross-connections are made, click on the Alarm List button on the System View window and verify no alarms are present.

If alarms are present, look for missing or improperly made cross-connections.
